@shaylove ,Rashada, It sounds like it is probably automatic trans mission you have and may be low on fluid. Check your transmission fluid level and fill to appropriate level if low. If fluid level good, you should have a good local shop diagnose the issue before you get stranded and have to be towed costing $$$. Diagnosing info. video below explains some faults. Good luck.

I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
